Tinnion, who is an ambassador for the club as well as the player loan manager, had gone to Sweden to watch Gustav Engvall in action. Unfortunately for Tinnion, he was unaware that the Robins striker is currently out injured. (The Post covered this in their daily live blog last week).

The former midfielder, who made over 450 appearances for City, saw it in good humour though and quickly took to social media to admit his mistake.

City kitman Scott Murray, who is also a firm favourite at Ashton Gate following his time at the club, happily weighed in on the mistake made by Tinnion and replied to his tweet with ‘Muppet’.

Tinnion has since seen the funnier side after getting some stick online from fans.
